1. 14C-labelled fatty acyl-CoA esters resulting from beta-oxidation of [U-14C]hexadecanoate by peroxisomal fractions isolated from rats treated with clofibrate showed the presence of the full range of saturated intermediates down to acetyl-CoA. 2. The pattern of intermediates generated was fairly constant. At low concentrations of [U-14C]hexadecanoate (50 microM), decanoyl-CoA was present in lowest amounts. At higher concentrations of [U-14C]hexadecanoate (greater than 100 microM), all intermediates of chain length shorter than 12 carbon atoms (except acetyl-CoA) were present at similar low concentrations; the process of beta-oxidation now resembling chain-shortening of hexadecanoate by two cycles of beta-oxidation. 3. In the absence of an NAD(+)-regenerating system [pyruvate and lactate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.28)] 2-enoyl- and 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA esters were generated, suggesting that re-oxidation of NADH is essential for optimal rates of peroxisomal beta-oxidation in vitro. 4. At high concentrations of [U-14C]hexadecanoate (greater than 100 microM), 3-oxohexadecanoyl-CoA was produced, suggesting that thiolase (acetyl-CoA acetyltransferase; EC 2.3.1.9) can become rate-limiting for peroxisomal beta-oxidation.

D010084 Oxidation-Reduction A chemical reaction in which an electron is transferred from one molecule to another. The electron-donating molecule is the reducing agent or reductant; the electron-accepting molecule is the oxidizing agent or oxidant.
